THE Skin ofMy Teeth"

1t may be interesting to note that this
expression, which by many is regarded
as vulgar slang, has already the high
classical authority of the Bible: IL is
Job Qx.. 20) who exclaims, in his an
guish, 81 am escaped with the skin Of
my teeth?" Some common sayings, such
as "GOd tempers the wind to the shOrn
lamb, " Pouring oil on the troubled wa
tiers, " THE war horse scents the battle
from affair."" etc, are supposed to be in
the Bible, though not so. But there are
not many who, in using the expression
Of hanging on or being saved by the
"skin of their teeth" know the high au-
thOrity for its use.-NOtes and Queries.

An Ancient Fraud Fxposi.

One of the old stand bys in the fraud
line Is the alleged newspaper issued Jan.
!, BOO, the inside OF which is draped in
mcdrning because of the death of Gen.
Washington, which occurred Dec. II. .9g
1ae paper was The Ulster County Ga
'ette, published at Kingston, \. Y. and
was of the issue of Jan. 4, 1900. There
are 10000 alleged copies of that alleged
newspaper carefully preserved in the
homes OF New York and New England to-
day, without any doubt. But the owners
or these sheets do not know the fact.
There was an Ulster County Gazette at
The time Of Washington's death, and il
very naturally printed something about
that event. Probably not one copy Of
that paper is in existence, but every week
somebody pops up in Maine or Vermont,
or Iowa or Minnesota, and says he has
copy of that Gazette
The simple truth about the matter is
that some twenty-five or twenty-six years
ago parties who We're exhibiting all ancient
printing press published thousands upon
thousands of this Ulster County Gazette,
because II was easy of reproduction, and
everybody who went 10 an agricultural
show that year got an Ulster County Ga
zette dated 1900, and printed the day of
the show. These are the bogus papers that
are continually coming TO the front as
genuine relics. Why, more of them are
IN existence than there We're genuine COP
les of The Ulster County Gazette printed.
